Did the job for a one night stay, quite a few vehicles. No reception, walk up the slope from the top car park for a few bars of service.

Parking du haut plat pouvant accueillir 7 véhicules. Le parking du bas peut en accueillir autant mais il est en léger devers (calles). Calme et gratuit, une rareté.

A great forestry car park away from the main road that is trialling a free overnight parking scheme! Perfect for about 4 campers with room around each for privacy. No facilities, but that doesn’t really matter when you have a loo and bin in your van anyway - which is one of the rules for staying! Went for a walk in the morning too which was absolutely beautiful!

Heerlijk rustige plaats om te overnachten. Wel heel veel midges, maar daar kan de parking uiteraard niks aan doen! Toen we er waren stonden er 5 mobilhomes/vans. In principe mogelijkheid tot 6 of 7 wagens, maar dan sta je wel heel dicht tegen elkaar.

Great spot. Flat, gravelled so no great of getting stuck. Super quiet. Two access roads, first (if driving East along A85) signed Fearnoch, turn left for forest just before you enter Fearnoch village, then keep left uphill at fork. Second access road is a shorter drive signed specifically for Forestry site.

Stayed here last night, fabulous place. Nice walk and no road noise. However - Stay the Night rules for this particular car park state a maximum of 4 campers and 4m distance in between them - we arrived here as the 3rd camper, went for a walk and when we came back 3 big motorhomes squeezed in. Then just before dark another van came and stayed. Please people - check the rules beforehand.

Stayed here last night, was joined by another 2 motorhomes, very quiet and far enough away from the main road! Level and hidden so there was no wind. Great place!

Sheltered quiet spot - great for sitting out some stormy weather. Parked in top level at bottom of mound - perfectly flat. Got good phone reception (vodafone). No signs about parking as its January and anything goes in January!!

Beautiful spot in a forest. The road climbs quickly up from the main road on good tarmac. The car park is hard ground but not tar. Two levels, a lower and you can drive through it to an upper level. There is a picnic bench up a little mound from the upper level. Ben Cruachan stands silhouetted above everything else majestically in the East.

Great spot for 4-5 vans only as per Scottish forestry. This is a quiet dark spot well off the road withsome picnic tables and a walking trail. Remember if you want this Scottish Forest trial "stay the night" to continue then feed back on their website. Take your rubbish home and consider others .

Beautiful spot in the middle of the forest - run by the forestry commission. No facilities, not even a bin, but lovely and quiet with a great 2.5 mile circular walk through the woods on the doorstep. We didn't realise this but Campervans are supposed to park on the upper level where the space is more limited (4-5 vans maximum). I had no wifi signal at all (EE).

Great scheme run by forestry Scotland. Allows parking overnight for 4 campers from 6pm-10am. No tents allowed. This trial is running until October 2021, so great initiative to keep place clean and noise free. Lovely spot for the night. No facilities so must have own toilet, no fires allowed. Hopefully more places like this will pop up around Scotland if all goes well.

Lovely place to stay for free for the night. Well signed, clearly stated in the parking that is allowed to park overnight. Very pleased about it.

Lovely quiet spot. There was two other campers with us but everyone was quiet. Very clean spot. Level and loads of room. Great running/walking/MTB trails in the forest.

We stayed here for a night because we struggled finding anywhere. There is no facilities but quiet at night a few early morning walkers and picnic tables.

Car park open under the forestry commission park for the night scheme. Hardstanding areas adjacent to forests. No facilities but a series of excellent signposted walks.

Toller Platz, selbst mit mehreren Campern groß genug um nicht zu dicht aufeinander zu stehen. Startpunkt für Wanderwege. Straße zum Parkplatz geteert, Platz selbst sehr eben und fester Boden. Auch jetzt Anfang Januar gut nutzbar. Keine Dienstleistungen.
